Fire, to me, is alive and shares a deep relationship with our universal family. After the most destructive wildfire in the history of California in 2018, I began photographing fire dependent ecosystems across the United States. This series of photographs is a representation of a dialogue between the cycle of destruction and creation of living ecosystems against my understanding of natural order. When the universe is cyclical and regenerative, is it impermanence that we're conjuring through our anthropocentric concerns?
